Big-city boy Pathum enjoys heading out to his family’s ancestral village in the Sri Lankan countryside for his annual hunting trip. He’s a bit callous about the unwritten rules of the hunt, though, and outright dismissive of the rumours about Kura Raaksha, the hoofed demon who enforces those rules. Let the hunt begin. – Rupert Bottenberg

A young man from a very wealthy family in the upcountry, while training at the Diyathalawa Military Academy, has a love affair with Ashawari, the youngest daughter of the Ohiya Station master, and the conflict between two families is a fascinating story of victory, defeat, love and hate.

Set against the backdrop of the 2022 Aragalaya (protests), the story begins with Tharindu feeling underutilized in his government job. He eventually gets frustrated and leaves to forge his own path.
